      Prekky how far? The review above was not meant for A+ but just to review specs. However to answer your question, Alpha beats the Phantom A+ based on screen display, camera and battery power considering the everyday usage of life. Games and videos are awesome on the Infinix Alpha. Colour vibrancy is high for the Alpha and you can take moving images with the alpha even in the dark and it will display well.

Tecno M3 Specifications and Features

Tecno is making the news again after a slight break. This time around Tecno have released a low-end smartphone called Tecno M3 for those that are on a tight budget.  This phone comes with 8GB internal memory card, USB adapter & charger, earphone and a plastic case. Although Tecno L3 and D3 are almost the same with M3, M3 has a better camera (5mp) with more swift feel especially when browsing. L3 on the other hand has a better battery performance but much slower internet speed. As we said in one of our posts, the 3 is a designation for low-end devices and the newly released L3 and M3 is proof of that. For a device of the price, feel and usage is smooth enough.
